Note: In
early July 2002, Mali instituted a new local numbering plan, moving from sixto seven digits. The new system applies to land
linesand cellphones. Phone numbers for
landlines and analog cellphones will bepreceded
by the number 2, while digital cellphones on the GSM network willbe
preceded by the number 6. For calling Kidal in the north, San in centralMali and Kayes in the southwest, however, the new
system applies only toincoming calls. For
outgoing calls from these three cities, the six-numbersystem
remains in place.
